SAN JOSE, CALIF. – AUGUST 21, 2007

Aicent, Inc. today announced that its RIM® Connection Service is now operational in Latin America.

The Aicent RIM Connection Service offers mobile operators the most convenient and cost effective way to offer the BlackBerry® from Research In Motion® (RIM) service together with the key service requirements often unavailable from alternative solutions.

With its proven technology, end-to-end traffic management, and an industry-leading service level agreement (SLA), mobile operators can be assured of Aicent’s connection uptime and the ability to deliver high quality BlackBerry service to their subscribers.

Aicent’s privately managed, global IP network directly connects to RIM facilities and service centers. Using an innovative Virtual Private Network (VPN) within its network, Aicent directly connects RIM data centers to mobile operators like Comcel via local POPs (Points of Presence) available in their home countries.

Comcel – a member of America Movil (the leading operator group in Latin America) and Colombia’s largest telecommunications provider with more than 18 million subscribers – is the first customer in Latin America to deploy Aicent’s RIM Connection Service.

Aicent’s RIM Connection Service is widely deployed in Asia by some of the largest mobile operators in China, Taiwan and South East Asia.
